Words cannot describe how excited I was to talk with today’s guests. Less than 20 minutes after finding and starting their book on Audible, I knew I needed to track them down and see if they’d come on the show. Luckily, they agreed and we recently sat down to discuss what really makes a remote culture work!
Ali Greene and Tam Sanderson are long time remote work veterans who literally wrote the book on building sustainable, engaging remote-first organizations. Their book – Remote Works: Managing for Freedom, Flexibility, and Focus – is packed with practical, actionable steps for designing a remote environment that enables trust, autonomy, and accountability.
Together, we dove into a variety of incredible topics, including:
- The difference between remote work culture and what many people experienced while working remotely during the pandemic.
- The three mindset shifts you MUST make in order for remote work to be a sustainable practice within your organization.
- What Standard Operating Behaviors are and why Ali shares them in response to anyone who says “You can’t build culture remotely - it just doesn’t work!”
- What rituals and artifacts are and how you can identify and design them intentionally for remote work environments.
- How to remotely recreate the “magic” that occurs when a team is physically together for a brainstorm.
- What GenZ doesn’t realize about remote work and how they can find great mentorship and community when working remotely.
- The remote best practices that hybrid organizations need to adopt in order to achieve true inclusivity.
- Both Tam and Ali’s favorite resources from the book. I’m personally a BIG fan of both!
